Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I’m not sure Darren, possibly. It is a 100 year old property and there is a manhole at the edge of the hole that is now kind of hanging in mid air and the pipes to and from it are the old glazed terracotta pipes. Housing association have been out and a contractor is putting in a quote but because I built the extension the surveyor said they have nothing on file about it and I might need to get retrospective permission. We got permission for it when I did it, and got letters from the housing to give me the go ahead but I can’t find these as my ex’s filing system is sh!t

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Its not an ex mining area is it? Could be an old mine shaft that has collapsed. Around here there have been several made their presence known. If the under lying strata is a soft rock then an underground water course could be the reason. Could prove to be expensive.

Blimey Rowdy - hope that's not too stressful for you!
Puts my issue with Thames Water into perspective, that's for sure.

That puts the water leak in my utility room in perspective. Hope it's fixed quickly.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Bloody hell Rowdy! That sounds pretty damned alarming. Hope it gets sorted quickly. Sounds like more stress you don't need.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Yeh, sh!t year all round Gary!
I’m down south, not sure any mining went on round here but there are a few sand pits and the soil is quite sandy. I am on a hill. Just hoping it doesn’t decide to get any bigger! Funny thing is had the housing surveyor round with a contractor to quote, but one of the home fix guys that works for the housing came round and said he was going to grab a bag of tarmac to fill it because he was expecting it to be about a foot square! It’s going to need about 6 tons minimum

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I would defiantly try and get the reason analyzed.You could fill it in and then it happen again but worse!
